The Two white- masted ships, the Ark and the Dove, landed in Southern Maryland— on St. Clement Island in the Potomac River on March 25, 1634. The colonists dis- covered in this land abundant natural resources — minerals from the mountains of the west, timber from the wooded areas of the piedmont, tobacco from the fields of the tidewater, and fish from the Chesapeake Bay. The panorama of these diversified areas combined to form an America in l l — -my -m - ' ! ■ ' ■ -wm miniature. In later years, through I ■ I 1 ■ I J. L 1 J 1 times of hardship and toil, with success and failure, the pioneers of Maryland used these resources to build a network of farms, industries and institutions, centered around Annapolis and Baltimore. From these population centers and farming districts, a state was emerging and growing. The people ' s welfare was becoming enhanced by the U - A prosperity of the state. As their material k r wealth grew, the citizens of Maryland re- v •-Z cognized the need for increased learning. In 1807, the professional schools were founded in Baltimore. Then in 1856, the State College for Agriculture was formed in College Park. Later in 1920, the University of Maryland itself was established. With a diversified education, students acquired new tools to lead the state in its progress. Today, the University of Maryland continues to expand its facilities and curricula to fulfill the increasing pressures of ever-growing tech- nology and the needs of the citizens of the State of Maryland.
